Helping you find wholeness...

The present focus of my practice is not on addictions, although that is part of my training and previous emphases (including dual diagnoses) and I maintain currency as a licensed clinical addictions counselor. If you are seeking individual treatment for addictions (especially if connected to other issues), I would welcome talking about this with you to help determine if I would be the right person for you to work with. My general approach is from a systems approach combined with pastoral counseling. Assistance can also be offered for those who are seeking to deepen the spiritual dimension of their recovery. I look forward to your journey to wholeness and peace.

Susan Galperin, LCSW LCADC SAP

Psychotherapist

I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed alcohol and drug counselor and have a sap credential. I have worked in a treatment facility, 27 years in a school district as a substance abuse coordinator and have also worked in a state prison. Through out all these years, I have worked with all populations and all addictions. There is not one approach. I tend to be eclectic. I am passionate about helping people and offer an environment that is supportive in implementing pathways to healing.

The purpose of Addiction Counseling is to help the client identify for him or herself if there is an addiction present. If this is the case, a variety of cognitive behavioral techniques are utilized as well as mindfulness exercises to help with focusing and how to cope with difficult emotions in healthy ways to become abstinent. In addition, there is a focus on stengths, and what the client has done in the past to abstain from using the substance of choice. Thus, the client can try and implement at least some of these techniques again and stay away from triggers and past negative behaviors that led to relapse. There is also focus on self-esteem building and how to prevent relapse in the future once the client is abstinent.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy combined with behavioral therapy are the primary tools I will use to help you end your addiction(s) to cigarette smoking, over or under eat and a variety of unpleasant food habit, nail biting, hair pulling, and addictions to alcohol and drugs. In the latter cases you must be drug free and alcohol free when you come to sessions.
It takes no special talent on your part to be hypnotized. If you have a good ability to concentrate and a good imagination you will qualify. In fact people who suffer from additions are prime candidates for hypnotherapy. Let me help you free yourself from the agony of an addicted life. Become a free person.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

When you realize that the behavior that you are engaging in is no longer something that is working for you, then therapy can provide you with the safety and non-judgmental support to explore alternatives to that behavior. As a clinician with over 25 years of experience I can provide you with the confidence and understanding necessary for you to begin to make the changes in behavior that you seek.

Addiction issues are wide and varied. Be it alcohol or drug abuse, gambling, food, sexualizing or the internet, substance and situational addictions can consume our lives. Part of the difficulty is understanding one's journey through the continuum of addiction...trying to understand where that shift materialized from indulgence to over-indulgence to true addiction. Besides a behavioral approach we need to understand why we entered this cycle of dependency. Once we begin to take our lives back we are on the road to independence and self regard, the two best weapons that protect us from returning to our addictive cycle.

The cycle of addiction is dizzying to the addict and it creates what I calling "doing" some forward movement in growth. And undoing. The old (by now probably moldy) undoing). The trapdoor for the addict is you know the drug offers relief. And since you live only in the hear and now (emotional and physical pain can cause that feeling) you want the instant relief that it seems only the drug gives you. My job is to gently and sometimes not so gently dispel you of this massive myth. What you really need is to learn to slow down by substitution of behaviors. It will be clearer when we meet.

What addiction are you struggling with? Alcohol, drugs, sex? It doesn't matter what form it takes, it matters what it is doing to your life. If it has gotten out of control, that your addiction seems to be running your life and narrowing your options, psychotherapy with me could be the help you need. If you could fix it by thinking and figuring it out, you would have done that by now. So why not call me and set up a time to meet?
